While addressing a couple rust areas, I ran into a hard white substance that was painted over body color. It appears to be squirted or brushed on pretty thick. It wasn't applied with much care. I was able to chip, wire brush, or sand it out. I'm curious:
This is surrounding the heater vent tubes in the engine compartment.  This is covering a half-circle cut-out in the driver floorboard just ahead of the pedals.  I'm guessing the same stuff was used in the rear trunk over the screws holding the muffler shield bracket. |

Seam sealer. Used all over the car. Lots of modern day equivalents.

 There is a brushable version too. Both sprayed and brushed were factory depending on location. Wurth DBS 3500 flail wheel removes it effortlessly if you’re going to remove the stuff. |

There is a good polyurethane strictly for the seams. Wurth has it but so do a lot of body supplies. I used to use some stuff from the big box store but it was outlawed. The original PL brand. Hard to remove.

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Oct 22 2024, 06:55 PM)  There is a brushable version too. Both sprayed and brushed were factory depending on location. Thanks for that lead. The product description sounds very appropriate for the application. I like there's brushable and gray options. I do see it states "Permanently flexible". If that's the case, if you paint over, won't the paint crack? I wonder if the original was also flexible...just not after 50 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It is flexible but so is paint. Think about how all modern cars have plastic bumpers that flex a lot.

Factory painted over it. Designed to be painted over.
No issues at all. Don’t judge me on the hillbilly AC holes patch job. I have the proper Restoration Design panel but needed these gaping holes filled in short term for a cross country move. Didn’t have time to do it to my satisfaction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)   |
